Old Rusty Bench Grinder Restoration

My father's grinder has been idle for about ten years. In summer, it was eroded by rain. The bearing was seriously rusted and damaged. So this project is to repair this grinder

Nice work ! Nice touch measuring the insulation. Should have used a grommet though for the hole where the cable leaves the casing. Now you'll cut the insulation slowly but surely.

Got bored and wanted to watch restoration videos.. this is an epic video thanks for the long video.. good job bro

[@maxc.gurrero9893]

Marvellous video. Really appreciated your hard effort.

[@metelgodful]

That was amazing that was a nice job really awesome but how come you didn't take the dents out of the front of the covers over the wheels those standout big time now you could have pounded those two things in place and it would look even that much better but you did an awesome job it just makes me wonder how come you didn't take the dents out of the covers

I love the paint!

[@Jennifer-yy2ri]

Amazing!! Very good job😊👍

[@jblcontrol28crossover76]

7:13 Never hammer on the end of a shaft like that. The end of the shaft will mushroom slightly and the nut will no longer thread onto it properly. Protect the shaft by threading on the nut to a flush depth so that the hammer hits both nut and shaft at the same time. Or, use the correct tool for this procedure... a press.

What's the name of the liquid u use to clean the bolts?

[@rustydogrustydog9191]

Excellent job. I would maybe consider not using the old grinder wheels as they are probably compromised.

[@waltercooling8907]

This project was very professional. Did you balance the wheels? On your install, one looked terribly wonky. Most actually are, unless they are high-grade stuff. Very smooth, enjoyable video!

Great work 😊

[@metelgodful]

You did a real awesome job on the grinder but the two things you should have finished was those smashed in dents on the front of those covers for the grinder and the rubber pad for the bottom you probably could have took to the sink and washed with soap and water I bet it'd look a lot better I mean cuz you took that thing all the way apart to the even taking the motor out of the casing I mean you went that far as you did why didn't you go to that extra couple minutes and finish those two things then it would have looked brand new and maybe clean that label a little bit too you'd be surprised with soap and water can do I took a plastic gas can that was dirty and left outside for a long time but a new spout installed an air vent and washed it with soap and water it looked brand new when I was done

You do great work but take some advice and get some brass punches and avoid striking hard metal together this will eventually save you a headache.

Did you put the screws in muriatic acid to get the rust off?

[@sureshlingabathina]

Excellent

[@TEST-xr1ki]

Hello what is the liquid that remooved the paint? Nice job i will follow your videos.

[@joseanecruz3914]

O nome do equipamento 11:40 que gira manivelas?

[@ikju-il4ok]

Didn't see any capacitors? Can anyone help?

[@robc8468]

Yes I don't see how that motor can run without a capacitor since it is single phase motor not 3 phase did he put a capacitor in off camera?

[@persioboni9373]

Muito bom.

[@alessandropezzella4505]

Wow

Paint remover

[@oldgadget1]

please dont use a hammer on a grinding wheel. bad things happen to stones that crack and fail

[@SubramaniamLakshminarayanan]

So true. The cracks aren't visible in a stationary wheel, but when it spins at 10000+ rpm, the centrifugal forces are enough to disintegrate the wheel into many pieces of flying missiles at that speed. Catastrophic to even imagine one. A correct way to test any grinding wheel, before mounting them is to strike them like a cymbal, with a light nylon rod. A clear resonating metallic bell sound indicates a sound wheel, while a dead sound surely means it is cracked. That apart, a good restoration job, well done.

[@robc8468]

I am shocked he "restored" those grinding wheels kind of like riding around in a vintage car with 50 year old tires aka "not safe".
